Mark, the only budda I know is the bad budda that parked the border between low and high pressure systems right over the top of my patch. Sure makes for some wet and wild weather.

I don't know in my opinion NJ has had a wonderful spring for gardening this year.... A bit of rain a bit of sun. Nicer than the extreme springs of recent past...

Raining here to fellers, LOTS of rain, seems like all that water is just percolating down though...no puddles in patch!

well, our comp plants are high and dry, but this weather is pretty gay. What really irritates me the most is having to walk in the mud ALL the time. Temps have been perfect the whole month. I guess we just gotta learn to deal with what we got. Reminds me of 2000 which was the best growing season ever.....except for the 3 minutes of hail we got in August.

We have been having great weather here for May. Getting rain 1 or 2 times a week and temps have been in the mid to upper 80's. Couldn't ask for anything better.

We had frost in many parts of Germany last night.
Now, it is 2:15 a.m. here and the temperature is 1.5°C so I expect frost again this night....
Wish us luck!!!

Be careful what we wish for. Despite all our crying about rain here in the Northeast last year, one look at the Topsfield results & the rain might not look so bad.

blub blub blub. has been blub raining since i got blub blub home from ohio... help!

Well we have already had too much rain. the water is no longer soaking into the soil its just sitting on top and running the soil out of my patch. Right now there are Tornado watches all over the place around 7pm tonight i got fustrated and went out and covered up my small hoop houses
with plywood so they wouldnt blow away with the HIGH winds we have been getting.. no more then 15 minutes after doing so it started to downpour hard with mixed HAIL!!

not sure how well the plants are going to like all this water if the rain doesnt stop everything is going to rot
i think.

porterville, calif.

It has been perfect this week. in the low 80,s. But we sure could use some rain. Only about 8inches for the whole year. Going to be a long summer Im afraid.

Nothing but rain here in Iowa also. And a bunch of wind which took down my 1230 Daletas plant.... very sad.

yeah the rain i can handle, its the wind. i've lost 2 plants so far.

sorry to hear about everybodys rain problems... I had a little rain storm pass by on saturday... not much rain just enough to wet the dirt... but there was a double rainbow - one of them looked like it ended in my patch. It was a beautiful sight. I'd like to think that it was a sign for a good year in my patch. I wish you all see a rainbow as the storms pass by your patches. (hopefully soon) And that you'll all have good luck in your patches.

No significant amount of rain here since February. Tell you what... Put all your rain into empty milk jugs and mail them to me.

Email me for my snail mail addy. Serious replies only, please.

Ontario, Canada.

Rain has pulled out of my area after dumping about 4" this holiday weekend in Canada. Plants are all in good shape at LanTerra as they have all been under cover. Cornerstone plants are a little wet but still alive. Managed to get most of my annuals done on Friday before the rain started. Hoop houses and cold frames are the perfect solution to these spring weather problems.

Wind,rain,hail...We've had it as well, A driver where I work at had his tractor trailer lifted up & slammed on it's driver side in last nights storm.

Rain... What's rain? As Mr. Sprout said, round here we're pretty much high and dry. Probably won't see the wet stuff again till sometime late this fall...
Rain dance anyone???

haven't hardly seen any rain here since the fall. We'd gladly take some!

Taber, Alberta

Rain, rain, rain. Thank goodness. It lasted just as long as the long weekend did. We got 2 very welcome inches of rain. It's been a very dry spring. The good thing is it delayed the planting of my other pumkins out at the farms that don't get babied. After the rain left, the clear, cold skies came and killed lots of stuff with a -2 Sunday night. It looks to be sunny and clear sailing from now on.

rain, clouds, and about 1 hour of sun shine is all I've had for 2 weeks in Northern Minnesota. Plants are growing slowly, people that have been getting sunshine have alot nicer looking plants so far.

5/25/2004 2:02:42 PM

Its been sunny here for about 1 hour now! Cloudy while I was working:-( Maybe I will go out and work on my tan since there isnt much to do in the patch.

Unlike Tom's weather, ours has been quite straight this spring and we could use more rain out west which is odd for this time of the year. Keep those hoophouses and coldframes on for awhile yet.
